I ended up taking in the cat I mentioned a few days ago. Here’s a picture.

I took that before it hid under the couch.

Got it. Thanks for the advice and the name.

Did you pick out a name I suggested?

Akage.

Ah, Akage-san. Good choice. This is the name in Japanese if you want it as well: あかげさん

Thanks.

Hiragana is so difficult. No wonder my parents never managed to teach me it.

Japanese in general is difficult if you don't practice it on a regular basis, but I think you could say that about all languages.

Can you at least speak it?

Yeah. Not as much as my parents would like, though. You?

I'm fluent in it, but that's only because my mother insisted on it even once we moved to America.

That's good.

My parents were, too. I was just stubborn.

Didn't want to learn?

Something like that. I'd say I regret it, but there's nothing I can do.

You could always start practising now. I wouldn't mind helping you.

I doubt you have that much free time.

You'd be surprised.

Then I’ll hope that your cats don’t get jealous and try to kill me

I can't promise anything. You might want to get yourself some guard dogs just in case.

I’ll turn Akage into my guard cat.

He can become... your battle cat.

No thanks.

Why :(

It looks scary for a cat...

Isn't that the point of a guard cat? To look terrifying to scare off others?

It shouldn't terrify the owner.

You'll get used to it

Would I really?
